Default Re: removing flame arrestor or filler screen

I didn't have much time to work on this tonight, but I think I made a little progress. 1955cj5 posted a picture that really helped me understand that, as he says, there are only a few threads. Then I took frank55a's advice, and tightened and loosened the screen several times. It is now loose when unscrewed, and I can tell that the threads are no longer engaged. It still will not lift out. I have been trying to gently pull it out with long needle-nosed pliers. I have not yet resorted to vice grips, a chisel, and a big hammer. When I get more shop time this weekend, I think I can get it out, but it may require collapsing the screen.

J. Franklin, this is Mr. and Mrs Honaker's car. I only found it because you posted the Craig's List link here on Fordbarn. I am very happy with my purchase!
